Media appearances of springeurs. 127 new of

~terry Mon, Mar 2, 1998 (07:39) #1

This might come into play when we get bigger. When we grow up. Someday. Who knows, could even happen now.

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 17, 1999 (05:21) #2

Karen has been on Jeopardy.

~stacey Tue, Aug 17, 1999 (13:43) #3

cool!

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 17, 1999 (17:34) #4

Yeah, she came in second to someone who was a real 'ringer'...she "done good!" And, I have the video tape....*grinning evilly*

~mrchips Sat, Aug 21, 1999 (22:34) #5

I qualified for Jep in 1987, but never got the call. If they don't call within six months, one must requalify. Have not had another opportunity. I did interview Alex Trebek on KPOI-FM (Honolulu). That's how I got the courtesy sitting at the contestant search. They nearly never put radio people who help them find contestants on the show. Then again, most don't qualify, either. But even if they do, they'd rather not put them on and have the local listeners/viewers think something was rigged. Remembe Ralph Fiennes (sorry Marcia, but Wolf is drooling) as Charlie Van Doren in "Quiz Show." (great flick!)

~MarciaH Sat, Aug 21, 1999 (23:00) #6

Congrats, John, I never knew! But, I am not surprised in the least. I should have put Alex on my top 5 male Babes - I really enjoy him...from the anonymity of the LR couch. And, Yes, good movie...(For Wolf, I forgive you anything.)

~mrchips Sun, Aug 22, 1999 (03:01) #7

Alex is tall, tan, trim, dignified in bearing, impressive without being imperious--although occasionally he sounds imperious, obsequious and ostentatious on the show when no one rang in and he says "that was the VERY FAMOUS...." (especially in the opera category)! Of course, it's pretty damn easy to be brilliant when you have the answer cards in your hand! :-) Actually, he looks in person like a retired tennis pro.

~MarciaH Sun, Aug 22, 1999 (03:08) #8

I still like him - an intellectual snob I can deal with. He is 6th on my top 5 list.

~mrchips Sun, Aug 22, 1999 (05:02) #9

I still like him, too. In fact, I wouldn't mind being on the receiving end of his "VERY FAMOUS" spiel.

~MarciaH Sun, Aug 22, 1999 (05:16) #10

This is true...*sigh*

~wolf Mon, Aug 23, 1999 (01:48) #11

i think he's funny to watch. he blurts out the answers like he's saying "and you didn't know that?"

~MarciaH Mon, Aug 23, 1999 (02:36) #12

It's part of his boyish charm, I think!

~mrchips Mon, Aug 23, 1999 (03:19) #13

I like the way he says "Yeah" in an almost disgusted, clipped tone when someone answers an easy question.

~aschuth Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (18:51) #14

Yeah

~mrchips Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (19:14) #15

Does my twice weekly radio program count as a "media appearance?" It's on the worldwide web.

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (19:35) #16

Most assuredly! Do tell the good people when and the URL for listening...they forget from week to week! 11am - 2pm Austin time, is it? and can be heard on http://www.webradio.com/kwxx/

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (19:36) #17

Oh yes, that is Saturdays and Sundays....

~mrchips Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (19:38) #18

11-4 Sat. CDT, 11-3 Sun. after time change will be 10-3 Sat. 10-2 Sun. CST (Austin time)

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (21:10) #19

thanks, John. I am in telnet and terry asked for the information in internet broadcasting. I can do it unless you get there first...!

~terry Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (21:45) #20

Post a reminder Friday night if you care to, just the night before it's on!

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (21:53) #21

One or the other or both of us will do!

~aschuth Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (17:25) #22

I run a banana boat disguised as music mag. superstar has a weekly show on Radio X in Frankfurt ( http://www.radiox.de ; sorry, no webcasting YET - mail them, and request that! radiox@inm.de ). Our show superstar rotation is hosted by editors and co-writers. More infos in http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/music/59

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (23:35) #23

thanks!

~mrchips Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (02:05) #24

Cool, Alexander ...you're on radio X, I'm on "double X"

~riette Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (08:21) #25

Which is where you both, no doubt, belong....

~riette Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (08:21) #26

the X-waves....

~mrchips Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (16:36) #27

In my case, maybe the "ex" waves...

~MarciaH Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (18:06) #28

Is there something you are trying to tell us?!

~aschuth Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (18:56) #29

How mysterious of you, John! Perhaps a new show idea? Or an old acquaintance called upon you? BTW, how fitting I rate only one "X" and you two... wonder what Springizen would qualify for XXX ...

~aschuth Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (18:57) #30

... on the other hand, don't tell me. I can guess myself. Some things better be left unsaid.

~aschuth Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (18:58) #31

Though, hehe, that'd be quite an idea... What kinda broadcast would that be!

~MarciaH Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (19:07) #32

Fascinating, Alexander...continue thinking with your fingers, but give more details...my mind is racing to places it has not been for a while!

~aschuth Mon, Oct 11, 1999 (22:28) #33

Shops with a lot of capital-lettered Xes on the door?

~aschuth Mon, Oct 11, 1999 (22:30) #34

Talking triple-X and ZZ Top the other day, there's a new CD out now (or soon), which is called - if I decifered the poster correctly - just "XXX".

~MarciaH Mon, Oct 11, 1999 (22:41) #35

Hard to believe, but I have never been in a shop with XXX on it...or even one X. Is that for lots of kisses? or X-rays? Hmmm....?

~mrchips Tue, Oct 12, 1999 (02:22) #36

There is no such thing as XXX, except in clothes sizes and of course, moonshine. There is no more "X" in the movies. It is NC-17. The porno industry, which does not submit its films for ratings, uses XXX strictly as a marketing ploy. Some of my favorite art/literary movies have been sold under the specious XXX banner, such as "Shakespeare in Lust," "Pride and Priapics," "Sense and Sensuality," "Withering Heights," "Ivan's Ho," "Rumpleforeskin"...

~MarciaH Tue, Oct 12, 1999 (02:31) #37

Great titles! Dontcha wonder what else creative minds like those have conjured up for entertainment!

~mrchips Tue, Oct 12, 1999 (02:34) #38

Those titles are all mine. Now, I need to make the films.

~MarciaH Sat, Oct 16, 1999 (05:21) #39

For Real??? You have talents you have not yet used (that I am aware of...) How smart thou art!

~MarciaH Sat, Oct 16, 1999 (05:24) #40

Just a reminder that John will be on KWXX tomorrow morning/afternoon depending on where you lived - 11-4 Sat. CDT, 11-3 Sun. after time change will be 10-3 Sat. 10-2 Sun. CST (Austin time) Broadcast over the Internet http://www.webradio.com/kwxx/

~mrchips Wed, Oct 20, 1999 (04:46) #41

Two of my poems (both lighter pieces...) have just been web published in _Poetry_Now_ e-zine. Let me say for the record (since Marcia thinks I should) that the first one is a parody of Walt Whitman (who was gay). I wrote it with what if he were writing poetry now in mind. It does not reflect my own sexuality. OK, enough for disclaimer...here's the URL: http://www.poetrynow.org/Volume%20II%20poetry.htm

~MarciaH Wed, Oct 20, 1999 (05:00) #42

Thanks for posting it here. The more to appreciate your talents. (Some guys will not go into a Poetry Conference for fear of losing their .... dakines!

~mrchips Wed, Oct 20, 1999 (06:13) #43

It's safer than drool.

~aschuth Wed, Oct 20, 1999 (16:22) #44

Dakines? Where's da diction...?

~MarciaH Wed, Oct 20, 1999 (19:47) #45

(In local Hawaiian pidgin there is no diction...) Poor John - ANY place is safer than Drool...!

~mrchips Wed, Oct 20, 1999 (23:28) #46

Alexander, "da kine" is a catch-all phrase in Hawaii Creole English (pidgin) which can mean any person, place, thing, or concept. But the context in which it is used is crucial. Almost always, when a pidgin speaker says "da kine," a listener well-versed in pidgin knows exactly to what the speaker is referring. In Marcia's case, she was talking about "dick-tion." As for diction, in HCE "pidgin," the consonant blend "th" is pronounced "d" at the beginning or in the middle of a word and "t" at the end. English Pidgin this dis that dat further furdah mother maddah father faddah third turd fourth fort width wit length da kine

~MarciaH Thu, Oct 21, 1999 (00:20) #47

Beautiful, John...*lol* Indeed, you caught the very essence of my comment but so...um...presentably...Mahalo, bra'

~aschuth Tue, Nov 2, 1999 (20:25) #48

A kind of what bra? "Wonda-bra", or "wonder(ful), bro'"?

~mrchips Wed, Nov 3, 1999 (06:13) #49

"Bra" or "Brah" is short for "Braddah," (brother), which is how locals here informally address males (either familiar or unfamiliar) in pidgin. So the wonderful "bro" is more appropriate than the "wonda-bra." Speaking about bras, how about that heavy-duty number Britney Spears has been sporting? She claims to not have a boob job, but if that's the case, why does she suddenly need a steel-belted radial bra, Brah?

~MarciaH Wed, Nov 3, 1999 (17:48) #50

...Child-bearing is the only other reason I know about...

~Isabel Wed, Nov 3, 1999 (21:10) #51

Don't they sell some kind of gymnastics-intrument with which you could increase your breast-width in the U.S.? I think they showed something like this on TV ( That's what we learn about America! *grin*)

~MarciaH Wed, Nov 3, 1999 (21:24) #52

Width, yes - opens up the rib cage. Size, NO!

~Isabel Wed, Nov 3, 1999 (22:05) #53

Oooh!

~Isabel Wed, Nov 3, 1999 (22:08) #54

...i think I've got enough "rib cage width"....

~mrchips Thu, Nov 4, 1999 (00:50) #55

If Britney Spears is pregnant (she is just 17)...the tabloid press would certainly not miss that.

~MarciaH Thu, Nov 4, 1999 (01:28) #56

Could she be augmenting or whatever and holding the augmentation in her steel-belted radials?!

~MarciaH Sun, Nov 21, 1999 (21:46) #57

The 10th annual Big Island Invitational Basketball Tournament (BIIBT) will be held this coming week Friday thru Sunday at the Hilo Civic Auditorium (also known as the Afook-Chinen). Cincinnati and U of Arkansas will be playing and their games will be televised on Fox Sports West on Saturday and on all Fox Sports nationally on Sunday 5pm our time (9pm Austin time). Maybe I will be on National TV since my place to sell T-shirts is just inside the foyer from the playing floor and I stand against the archway to watch on occasion. I have seen myself on replays. Watch if you dare, but it is your chance to see where I hang out for the Basketball season. You will most certainly not see the UH-Hilo Vulcans play. We are not in their (Cincinnati's or Arkansas')bracket and the NCAA only allows a few exhibition games... But you will see my friends. I know just about every local who attends by name

~MarciaH Sun, Nov 21, 1999 (21:46) #58

Oh, and you will see John, as well...*grin*

~terry Mon, Nov 22, 1999 (15:12) #59

Will you wear something distinctive and tell us what it is so we can find you easier? And will you post the game times?

~MarciaH Mon, Nov 22, 1999 (20:05) #60

I will do that. I just listened to our coach being interviewed on the radio. Saturday's game begins at 5pm HST (9pm Austin time)...but I will verify that with John to be certain. I believe I will be in white top since it will stand out from the "team color" shirts which will be everywhere. Will let you know about that, as well. I know I will have tinsel garlands in my hair (braided like a halo - I do it every year)

~MarciaH Mon, Nov 22, 1999 (22:41) #61

Actually, white altoghther would be the best...Look for me. Sunday I will be all in red.

~terry Tue, Nov 23, 1999 (05:00) #62

Carry a banner and hold it up and let us know what you write. If you use the letters of the network that broadcasts the game and work in some clever phrase you'll be sure to get some major airtime.

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 23, 1999 (18:44) #63

Not sure I want them Zooming in on me quite that tightly as they usually do with banner-carriers. I am not an exhibitionist - more like a timid back-row person. But, looking at the benches where the teams sit, my doorway is off to the left of the picture and I get in the picture quite regularly. I will be there and I am sure you will be able to see me leaning against the doorway. Last night during practice we were at the Civic creating an enlarged media room and I got to see a backboard smashed (by on of our hotdoggers). I have added several interesting pieces to my "rock" collection! I will probably be walking with messaged back of the scorers' table between the team seats ior behind the media table where John will be holding forth. I just may go to see him - just because so you know who he is. This sounds like fun...!

~stacey Tue, Nov 23, 1999 (20:13) #64

Paul, will you tape it and broadcast the good parts over the Spring Cam... so I can see it too!?!

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 23, 1999 (20:17) #65

I was afraid someone was gonna say that...*grin*

~terry Wed, Nov 24, 1999 (17:51) #66

Sure thing, ti.

~stacey Wed, Nov 24, 1999 (20:24) #67

yeah!!!

~MarciaH Wed, Nov 24, 1999 (20:33) #68

(fortunately, she asked him to save the "good parts"....*whew* Guess I wiggled off the hook again *grin*)

~MarciaH Thu, Nov 25, 1999 (06:09) #69

To see all UHHilo Vulcan games on the Vulcan Sports Network, go to http://uhhilo.rivals.com/ They will webcast the games which are not covered by Fox (and perhaps the ones which are, as well). More stuff there than I ever knew about UHHilo Vulcans! Oh, and there is a very impressive Fox Sports uplink "trailer" parked beside the Civic tonight. They will have two up and two down cameras all fed out by fiber optics which was installed yesterday. 50 pro scouts have registered...the list goes on and on. Tomorrow more news, I hope!

I am wearing all black with a black tournament shirt. John will not be broadcasting for TV - just local radio, but will be doing stats so you just might see him - at least on the Vulcan hot link above.

~terry Sat, Nov 27, 1999 (00:27) #77

Sit by the green cooler (or whatever it is) in the first row all the way on the end. The camera shows this every time down the court. Otherwise, we'll never see you. Man, what a small gym! And the top team in the nation is playing (Cinncy); they look they're going to jump out of the gym.

~terry Sat, Nov 27, 1999 (00:28) #78

Green Cooler, Marci!

~MarciaH Sat, Nov 27, 1999 (17:39) #79

Ok Terry. All white today....I know the green cooler - it sits just in front of where the extra bleachers are. I will go there. I knew our gym would appear small - especially with the huge wide-angle lenses they have on their cameras. Cincinnati was amazing. They clobbered Rollie Massamino's Cleveland State 91-56 We played terribly and was very happy it was only on the internet. Today: 4pm Austin time, Cleveland State vs Rhode Island 6:30pm Cincinnati vs Santa Clara 9pm Arkansas vsIowa State (should be the best game today) 11:30 pm Mercer vs UHHilo.

~MarciaH Sat, Nov 27, 1999 (20:38) #80

For the incredibly curious or terminally bored, Marci hunting should be aided by noting that I am clad in a long-sleeved white top and tan pants. Gold wreath in my hair. Happy hunting for Marci and other locals - like John...Rollie Massimino is easy to find. He is having apoplexy on the sidelines...but all coaches seem to do that!

~MarciaH Sun, Nov 28, 1999 (17:29) #81

Today I am in cranberry with a fluffy silver wreath in my hair. I cannot stand by the green water coolers because it is in the way of traffic flow and where spectators are not allowed. I did sit and stand behind the one at the stage end for a while yeaterday during the Cinncy game. Big game to day for the championship game is Iowa State vs Cincinnati at 8pm Austin time. I will be there and so will Fox, and rivals.com. We play Cleveland State and Rollie Massimino at 8:30 this morning for who gets the booby prize...I have no doubt it will be us. See you there. Aloha!

~stacey Mon, Nov 29, 1999 (15:54) #82

Did anyone see Marcia or John??

~MarciaH Mon, Nov 29, 1999 (18:09) #83

Terry has been silent for 2 days on it, so I surmise he has not had time to look at the tapes. I stood against the wall 4 feet behind the green water cooler for most of the championship game yesterday. The day before I walked the entire length of the gym to the end with the cheerleaders dressed in black and even sat where I was fairly obvious. Unfortunately, John, at the media table, was probably invisible. He wore a black shirt last night and a bluish-grey-white patterned shirt the day before.I am s re I could pick me out of the mob-scene. Alas, I could not hang around the water coolers because they were right next to where the players sit and the trainer works. Security would have whisked me away in a second!

~stacey Mon, Nov 29, 1999 (20:07) #84

But that certainly would've made the television camera cuts!!

~MarciaH Mon, Nov 29, 1999 (21:07) #85

I would think so. Even with the masses surrounding me. Terry surely has the option of pause, rewind, slo-mo forward, freeze-frame. I was backed up against a gray-painted wall abutment so I was not lost in the crowd. Wearing what most else were wearing - some variety of maroon, only I had one of those bottle-brush looking silver tinsel garlands entwined with holly around my head like a Halo. People came by and talked to me. The day before that, when I was in white top and tan slacks with gold halo in y hair, I was at the end with the Cincinnati cheerleaders in black and sat on those bleachers or else leaned abainst a similar wall abutment as I did yeaterday. Surely I am not that difficult to discern, and I am sure they were zeroed in my line of sight during a lot of the free-throws yesterday. What I was wearing might have looked brown on the telly...but I should have been noticable with the silvery halo!

~terry Tue, Nov 30, 1999 (12:45) #86

I looked, twice on the tape, slow motioning and everything but I couldn't spot you! I tried!

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 30, 1999 (20:11) #87

Ok...I understand how difficult it can be...and my real big time effort to be visible was on the last day when your TIVO did not tape. Oh well, Next time. Thanks for the expenditure of so much energy...I hate disappointing you...*sigh*

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 30, 1999 (20:15) #88

Actually, my 12 minutes of fame were subject to the producer and director in the uplink "truck" with all the little tv monitors (one per camera). I was indeed being video-taped, but the guy in the truck decided what you would see at any given moment from the 6 or so cameras sprinkled around the floor. I wonder if anyone tried the internet feed to rivals.com. They seemed to have one camera down with mike man and one up. No way to tape that one. I did not think to tape the one on Sunday just in case... wonder if anyone did...

~MarciaH Sat, Dec 11, 1999 (05:23) #89

The third issue of The Hawaii Journal to which John Burnett is a contributing writer is found at http://hawaiijournal.com/

~terry Wed, Dec 15, 1999 (02:44) #90

Good piece on growing hemp in Hawaii this morning on NPR, today was the inauguration of the first plot of industrial hemp. Did you hear about that?

~MarciaH Wed, Dec 15, 1999 (04:03) #91

Not in the that particular journal, but it has been discussed for at least 20 years. Guys even run on the Hemp ticket in elections, wear shirts made of the stuff, jackets, pants, hats.... Is is very strong - much like flax, but if you want to raise hemp for fiber it will fall under the poppyseed growers litigation, I am sure. Strictly regulated and only a few allowed to do it legally. Meanwhile "everyone" in the back woods of the volcano and Puna districts is growing their own and some for other peop e as well. Cash only. They bought large items such as $60,000 trucks and more expensive than that houses for cash. Now there is a law that any transaction over $10,000 must be in a traceable form - not just cash. Our bumbling bureaucrats blunder again.

~MarciaH Wed, Dec 15, 1999 (04:06) #92

Just enquired of the other house inhabitant and he said it was on Oahu and the neighbors were furious - in a residential area...but this was some time ago. I will check and let you know. (Read: I'm gonna ask John!)

~MarciaH Wed, Dec 15, 1999 (04:49) #93

John reports: The first industrial hemp plot in Hawaii will be in Whitmore Village,Oahu, just north of Wahiawa on land that used to be former Dole Pineapple land. The Navy is hoping that the stuff is not psychoactive as the plot abuts the Naval Communication Station which serves all the Eastern Pacific fleet. State Representative Cynthia Thielen (R-Kailua, O`ahu) was the driving force behind legislation that made this plot possible. The plot is used by a company which uses hemp flowers in herbal shampoo...they plan to sell the fibers overseas to companies that make products, including clothes, from the fibers.

~terry Wed, Dec 15, 1999 (06:32) #94

The American flag, made out of hemp. The Constitution. The Declaration of Independence. Why do you think they've withstood the rigors of time?

~MarciaH Thu, Dec 16, 1999 (02:22) #95

You do not have to sell me on the virtues of Hemp fiber. The banner headline and feature article in the local newspaper this morning is State plants legal hemp. The URL for this strange newspaper is http://hilohawaiitribune.com/ But, they do not have this article online yet. Apparently it is a UH Manoa project to grow it. Induustrial hemp of this sort is a non-haluciogenic cousin of the more imfamous pot. George Washington grew it on his land...(not pot!)

Yup - the newsapaer said 12' high cyclone fence topped with razor wire and round the clock infrared surveillance. Never under estimate the stupidity of kids looking for a cheap high!
